How long does it take to learn a back handspring?

How long should it take me to learn how to do a back handspring?

• I learned how to do a cartwheel and a round-off a few months ago, and those took me like a week or two each. And Im still like "perfecting them". I'm taking a tumbling class now once a week for an hour, and I want to have my handspring to be able to try out for varsity cheer by August. I know this is a few months away, but I want to make sure I have enough time. How long do you think it will take me to get a standing back handspring with no spot? Do you think I should add more classes now? or maybe wait till later and see? Is their anythimg like exersizes or stretches I can do at home on my own without a spot to help be get a back handspring faster?

• Answer:

  My daughter got her back handspring in about a month to perfection but that is with 2 group classes at 45 minutes once a week and 1 private with only working on them for 1 hour a week it you practice hard and train just for that you should have it buy August. work on doing back bends from standing to rising standing at home that helped her. ask your teacher if she can work with you on it
